Association Between Therapeutic Hypothermia and Outcomes in Patients with Non-shockable Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Developed After Emergency Medical Service Arrival (SOS-KANTO 2012 Analysis Report).
Article in Neurocritical care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectiveThe outcomes of patients with non-shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (non-shockable OHCA) are poorer than those of patients with shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (shockable OHCA). In this retrospective study, we selected patients from the SOS-KANTO 2012 study with non-shockable OHCA that developed after emergency medical service (EMS) arrival and analyzed the effect of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on non-shockable OHCA patients.
methodsOf 16,452 patients who have definitive data on the 3-month outcome in the SOS-KANTO 2012 study, we selected 241 patients who met the following criteria: age ≥ 18 years, normal spontaneous respiration or palpable pulse upon emergency medical services arrival, no ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia before hospital arrival, and achievement of spontaneous circulation without cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of TH and were analyzed.
resultsOf the 241 patients, 49 underwent TH. Univariate analysis showed that the 1-/3-month survival rates and favorable 3-month cerebral function outcome rates in the TH group were significantly better than the non-TH group (46% vs 19%, respectively, P < 0.001, 35% vs 12%, respectively, P < 0.001, 20% vs 7%, respectively, P = 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TH was a significant, independent prognostic factor for cerebral function outcome.
conclusionsIn this study, TH was an independent prognostic factor for the 3-month cerebral function outcome. Even in patients with non-shockable OHCA, TH may improve outcome if the interval from the onset of cardiopulmonary arrest is relatively short, and adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation is initiated immediately after onset.
